I cannot start the service according to the instructions

[Valentinishe]

Hi, Good Job)
I know that this is not your problem, but I can't start the service according to your guide.
When I execute the commands:
sudo systemctl start warchest_bot and sudo journalctl -u warchest_bot.service -f
I get an error:

I Think trouble in this line

near_warchest/warchest.py

Line 35 in 1046bb6

[f"near call {stake_pool_id} ping --accountId {accound_id}"],

Because if I change this line to this,
[f "near --version"],

then the error will be repeated, but will clearly indicate that she does not see not "near"

Also the error is repeated with this line
[f "npm --help"],,
but not with this
[f "node --help"],

it's just some magic

maybe you are facing this problem?
or maybe you know how to solve this problem?
or maybe that's not the problem at all?

I hope for your help)

my env:
ubuntu 18.04
nodejs 8.5 / 10.17 / 12.0
I try use global near-shell and near-cli

Hey @Valentinishe,
I do not have this issue. The problem here seems to be that the python code is not able to "find" the program called "near".
Did your near-shell install properly? (Node 10+ is required and you have 3 different node versions installed?)
You can test this by running whereis near and echo $PATH. The outcome of whereis should be in a folder listed in echo $PATH.
You could also try to uninstall your near-cli as only near-shell is required.

Hey @Valentinishe,

Thanks for taking the time to answer)

The problem here seems to be that the python code is not able to "find" the program called "near".

I think so too.

Did your near-shell install properly?

Yes

(Node 10+ is required and you have node 3 different node versions installed?)

I mean I tried with 3 different versions

You can test this by running whereis near and echo $PATH.

I didn't think, thanks)
/home/near/.nvm/versions/node/v12.0.0/bin/near
/usr/bin/near

But it did not help(
[f"/home/near/.nvm/versions/node/v12.0.0/bin/near call {stake_pool_id} ping --accountId {accound_id}"],
[f"/usr/bin/near call {stake_pool_id} ping --accountId {accound_id}"],

You could also try to uninstall your near-cli as only near-shell is required.

I tried with everyone, but now I installed near-shell

[eorituz]

My last idea would be trying to set shell=False in Line 36 (https://github.com/eorituz/near_warchest/blob/master/warchest.py#L36).

Otherwise, I'd recommend doing the whole near setup from scratch again and see if that works. Those kind of issues are usually quite difficult to debug...

I think the easiest approach in your situation might actually be to try one of the other warchest bots (e.g. the one in docker or the other python bot)
